CaPaMan (Cassino Parallel Manipulator) as sensored earthquake simulator

We report results of successful experiences using CaPaMan (Cassino Parallel Manipulator) as an earthquake simulator. The paper describes the experimental set up for a sensored mobile plate for verifying the numerical simulations with practical experiments. Reproducing accelerometer diagrams of actual earthquakes has proved a practical feasibility. Some numerical and experimental results are reported in the paper to show the interest for this application of CaPaMan.
